Your Words Give Me A Headache is a group program that brings together the work of contemporary feminist filmmakers thinking about language, the fluxes between literature and moving image, matters of expression, experience, representation and communication’s failure. The films tackle social relationships and unconventional story-telling, ranging from the unlike relationship between a grown up filmmaker and the infant she’s trying to work with in her movie (Garnett), to family’s lack of communication mediated by Clarice Lispector’s master piece Agua Viva (Mira) and the unfulfilled promise of a feminist, anarchist, queer porn project that can’t even be represented on camera by a spokesperson (Dahlberg).

 

Curator: Clara López Ménendez

Dirty Looks: On Location is a series of queer intervention in New York City spaces. Over the course of July, artist film and video will appear in these queer social spaces and former sites of queer sociality (like shuttered bars, bathhouses, and former meeting zones). A new piece, a different setting on each night of July. The summer in New York is hot, sticky and social. Installing moving image works around the city in bars, centers and “haunted” venues allows for the free flow of viewers to engage and celebrate with work, in evening events that commemorate contemporary moving-image production and its precedents in queer culture.
